I love superheroes and I love weird horror films... I could definitely feel that there was a lack of movies like The Martian being made: smart genre movies that can appeal to adults.

That's kind of how I've based my career. I find talented people and beg me to let me work with them.

We've always been a band who's taken forever to do things. After writing 'Persona' I think we wrote about four songs in three years!

With horror movies, a bigger budget is actually your enemy. You want to feel the rough edges, the handmade quality to good horror films. Its a genre that benefits from not having everything at your disposal.

Theres just something wonderful about getting a small group of people together in an isolated location, and theres something about cabins themselves that imply both horror and fun. When you go to a cabin, youre usually going to have a good time.

All movies are alchemy and time is one of the ingredients that goes into the alchemy. You want the time to be right; you don't want to rush it. You need the right script, the right cast and the right feeling in the culture.

Filmmaking is incredible introspective. It forces you to sort of examine yourself in new ways.
